'I see no future for Jews in the Netherlands'
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12/07/2010

Posted on 12/07/2010 5:02:15 AM PST by SJackson

Former Dutch EU commissioner says "recognizable" Jews are no longer safe in Netherlands due to Muslim anti-Semitism. Former European Union Commissioner Frits Bolkenstein said that Jews have no future in the Netherlands and recommended that they emigrate to the US or Israel, Dutch magazine Elsevier reported on Tuesday.

According to a book on Dutch Judaism, released this week, Bolkestein, former leader of the right-wing VVD party, said that due to anti-Semitism amongst young Moroccans Jews who look like Jews - those who wear kippahs or payot - should leave Holland for their own safety

"I see no future for recognizable Jews, in particular because of anti-Semitism, specifically in Dutch Moroccans, who continue to grow in number," Bolkestein reportedly said.

The former politician added that the many Arab television channels in the Netherlands contribute to the spread of anti-Semitism. He said he has no confidence in proposed measures to combat anti-Jewish sentiment.

"The Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to fester," Bolkestein said. "I foresee no quick solution, and anti-Semitism will continue to exist. Moroccan and Turkish young people won't care about the measures."

Politician Geert Wilders, who visited Israel this week, responded that "Jews shouldn't emigrate, anti-Semitic Moroccans should."

Looks like it’s happening again. How long ago was it we were saying “never again”?

Last Dutchman out needs to blow the dikes and let the North Sea have it back. The Netherlands wasn't settled, it was built. And it is better to destroy something you built that let it to the barbarians.

It won’t be long before the Netherlands isn’t safe for Dutchmen either. Honestly, I think us Westerners are idiots.

Muslims hate Jews regardless of Israeli "palestinian" conflicts. In fact it would be fair to say that muslim's hatred of Jews created the conflict between Israel and "palestinians".

I had a friend once, she was Jewish and lived in NYC, she called people who are obviously religious because of their garb or whatever “visible Jews”.

If the Dutch had any decency they would be rounding up the recognizable Muslims and offering them the same choice that the Muslims offer the Jews.

Less than 80 years ago. This ain’t confined to Holland; a visiting Israeli tennis player, quite talented, was forced to play her match in an enclosed and closed stadium in Malmo, Sweden (where the local Jewish community is being chased out due to threats and harassment) last year due to threats from the new local citizenry. And don’t respond that it isn’t happening in the US: the City of Minneapolis apparently tolerates licensed taxi drivers who refuse blind passengers on the basis that the sight dog is “an unclean animal”. strange, I always thought that a license was a privilege and that privilege carries some oligations, including picking up passengers who need a ride. If you don’t want to do it for whatever reason, don’t drive a taxi and the license (a public privilege, not a right) will be awarded to someone who DOES.

One of the few Europeans who speaks the truth.

What a sickening commentary on the Netherlands appeasement. Have they no shame and backbone? What a miserable society they are proposing. Do they not realize they are the next to go?

For the second time, forces are mobilizing for the elimination of Jews, and for the second time, it’s hard to find anyone who cares.

Amsterdamn is near, half Muslim, with Mulim kids the vast majority in the schools. Twenty years it will be a Muslim city, with the Muslims all young, and having grandkids and the Dutch elderly and childless. A beard leftist Jew is mayor, combined with leftists and Muslims as a voting block.. The city center, the tourist attraction, cannal part, you can walk to 99% Muslim ghettos, where it is unsafe. Same in Rotterdamn.

Mr. Bolkenstein is obviously anti-Semitic AND Islamophobic.

Because Moslems are good.

We’ll there goes the EU. I wonder who will pay the taxes when the Jews leave.

I personally don’t want them because even if you save them they will vote with the liberals to give the country to the muslims.
